So many emotions, so little time...
This is what comes of not updating frequently. You end up spewing everything out at once. Oh well - potential long entry ahead...
Joy: The Harry Potter quiz loves me...
Amazement: the animals in the animated kids' programme Don't Eat The Neighbours do not just have gay hints, they are actively and totally gay. The producers are taking the smeg here.
Gloom: I wish my manager didn't keep acting like she found me totally irritating to be around. I was thinking this as I left the shop this evening, and as I had nothing to read I spent the entire bus journey thinking about it as well. By the time I got home I was extremely down. It just feels like I don't fit in there and they just think I'm stupid and useless, and I hate feeling like that.
Okay, self-pitying bit over.
Fangirlishness (so it's not a proper emotion, so what?): Nik and I watched almost all of the original Akira movie with the original dubbing!
Everyone sounds stoned. That is the first thing I have to say. Everyone sounds much less awake and speaks more slowly. (Hmm, maybe it's just our speakers.)
Kaneda's voice actor is awful. Well, he sounds a lot stupider and his voice drags down at the end like a bad impression of Bill and Ted. Tetsuo's is a bit more melodramatic (Nik hates him because he claims Joshua Seth (Tai from Digimon, who does the remastered voice) is sexy.)
Yamagata and Kai are about the same *phew*
Their girlfriends are so much deeper and growlier. It is very disturbing.
I can't get over how different the dialogue is in this, though! I'd love to know what the original script was meant to be, because one of the films must have employed major artistic license. In terms of which script is better though, I think they come in about equally.
Oh, and in this dub, everyone's names are pronounced in a Western way (i.e. Kaneda, Akira) which is just plain irritating now I got used to the other pronounciations...
Okay, I'm done!

I love you ^_^
It was most fun. I think one of the best bits was when I realised Takashi sounds exactly like Frenchy from Grease. That was when I knew I'd entered a strange new world.

And we knew it was on purpose too. Such as the line "Was it good for you too?" from Wolf to Rabbit as I recall. And the date between Wolf and Terrapin. And the fact that Fox is a fucking fag. :D
*giggles* Frenchy from Grease eh? How entertaining!
no subject
Yeah, well...we kept pausing the DVD every few minutes and shrieking at each other how much things had been changed...by the time I realised about Takashi, there's a slight possibility we may no longer have been taking the film entirely seriously...
no subject
*giggles* I look forward to watch it with you then! It might be tre amusing! :)

I must write that sometime. After the exams.
(apologises about the v. late letter. I know it's taking a while but exams and stuff are taking up time. I'll get it finished, I promise)
